The UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (UCSF-Stanford CERSI) was pleased to present the 2nd annual Innovations in Regulatory Science Summit, a gathering of leaders in the academia, industry and regulatory sectors to discuss the role of regulatory science in medical product development. The 2021 CERSI Innovations in Regulatory Science Summit had a major focus on the COVID-19 pandemic including panel discussions on infectious disease and pandemic preparedness as well as how the pandemic continued to affect the development and approval of medical products targeted to other diseases. We also included a panel focused on the development of innovative medical products for cancer. The goal of the summit was to stimulate discussion across sectors and to critically consider lessons learned and scientific issues that need addressing to expeditiously and safely advance the development, approval and monitoring of medical products, particularly for infectious disease but also for oncology and other diseases.
Panel Discussions
- Scientific Issues that Underlie the Development, Assessment and Repurposing of Medical Products for Infectious Diseases
- Accelerating the Development and Assessment of Novel Therapies for Cancer: What is Needed
- Pandemic Preparedness: Lessons Learned from COVID-19
- Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Research, Development and Regulatory Review of Medical Products for Other Indications
Keynote Addresses
- Peter Marks, MD, PhD - Director, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at FDA
- Jeffrey Shuren, MD, JD - Director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health at FDA
- Janet Woodcock, MD - Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research on detail to Operation Warp Speed and Principal Medical Advisor to the Commissioner at FDA
